Just becoz the NRL can’t make a moral decision doesn’t mean we can’t.

I’ve said what I think of Lodge and his home invasion and attempted murder crime. I will not belittle Mam’s crime either, but there is a difference.

M’am was reckless. Lodge was deliberate.

In talks in the new year from memory
Archie Dubcombe
Not yet. Richo said they would sit down after Xmas
There’s a few . The wests tigers faithful guys had an episode on this recently , I found it very informative , it made me do a bit of research . But it’s hard to get a hold of . Phoenix Godinet is the big one. Gonna be hard to keep him I think .
U got to get down of that high horse buttface , maybe that’s why we have 3 wooden spoons because we won’t sign grubs but the successful clubs do

Geez there is some dead wood coming off contract this year. Great news.
I would still like to see this team Twalless

You could argue the same for Lodge as he was definitely out of it.

Outside of Samuela Fainu, I can't see us paying big money for any other high level 2nd rowers in the coming years.
Richo has always been big on the fact that if you block off the pathway for juniors they will leave and that we need a good group of our juniors to win a premiership.
For that reason, I think he will be trying to recruit a decent 2nd rower for a few seasons to add some depth, but someone that doesn't guarantee selection in that position.
This should help keep the likes of Broederlow, Godinet and Duncombe in our system and give them the proper chance to develop without being thrown into a Top 30 spot well before they are ready.

Really we only have 2 options now. Samuela F is 1 2RF...
It's either Jack Bird at Lock and Seyfarth at 2RF.
OR
Jack Bird at 2RF with ... ?? at lock. I mean I would want to keep May as a prop to handle the team transition, literally keep it simple for him. Other then May, the only option I see is Api/Da Silva doing a Lock/Hooker switch throughout the games. ... Ok you could put Pole at Lock with JB at 2RF...
Boy our front row looks light on. We have depth at prop, but nothing outside of that.
How does borederlow go . I’d heard of him , but he wasn’t this elite talent , and now he’s got a NSW cup deal I’m curious . He seems to have taken a leap , but he looks very raw in the pre season photos re. Body shape
That’s why I think they’re looking at hetherington . I’m all for it .

Seems like he came out of nowhere this year. He was strong in the Flegg side. Played some Cup without really standing out but is definitely a slow burn. Some potential there from the bits I have seen. Must be impressing the coaching staff too. Needs a couple of NRL pre-seasons and to make sure he isn't rushed up to the NRL team. I think the train and trial 2025 and then Development 2026 is a good call from Richo and Benji.

Behind Sukkar I'd say. Was having a proper look at
him today as I've been fairly critical of him in the past.
Plenty of people want 2 see him given a chance and
he'll probably get another crack in 1st grade this year
if his form in KOE warrants it. He's not small, I was
surprised to see that he was taller & weighed more
than both Jaydn Su'a & Briton Nikora by comparison

My biggest gripe was having Tumeth & Sukkar on
the books taking up the same spot at the same time.

Yes, Phoenix and Archie are two to watch very closely over the next 2 years. Good prospects.
